I'm developing a simple data base to keep track of memo's
that are signed by my boss. Each of us(who works for
him), upon writing the memo is required to fill out a
coordination sheet containing various information about
the memo, including the date signed by my boss.

I was thinking about creating a form so we can fill it
out, then use a report to print the coordination sheet.
The problem is I don't know when my boss will sign the
memo, which means later we need to come back to edit the
data. The problem is the people I work with are not
computer savvy enough to find the right record and
correctly edit it unless I make it really easy and fool-
proof for them. Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

You need some method of uniquely identifying the memo in question. You know
your office and procedures, no one here does. Are memos assigned serial
numbers when they are initiated? If so, that serial number could be the
memo's "name" in your new system.and that's what people would use to find
the initial record and complete it.
